Washington, D.C.--Democrats in Congress have introduced a nearly 1,000-page bill to comprehensively regulate health care in the U.S. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office has determined that just part of the legislation would cost over $1 trillion.

But critics say that figure fails to account for the large number of injuries that will result from people trying to follow a complex flow chart describing the operation of the program.

One doctor told reporters, “Eye strain, sticker shock, and self-inflicted trauma to the head are only some of the injuries that will be suffered by those simply trying to figure out how the government program works.”
